Again, from what I've been told from others who have experienced this problem, it's very hit-or-miss and typically only happens at certain times of the day/week. I've never had a problem with it on weekdays during the middle of the day, for instance.

How intense the problem is also varies. Amongst times that I have this problem, it isn't commonly as bad it was last night, for instance.

the only shows that CR has from funi is One Piece, Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, and Toriko. everything else is on funi's website. But I believe that only applies to North America

We have subscriptions to CR and Netflix, and I have a Prime account at Amazon. Some older shows like Clannad are available there for free.

Crunchy can be unreliable in the late afternoons as kids come home from school. I have had better success using its PC alternatives like my PS3. I suspect they may use a different "content distribution network" for devices than they do for computers.

Aniplex has been releasing its titles to Netflix, too. I've seen both Kill la Kill and Madoka among its offerings.

I'll also register my displeasure with Hulu for not eliminating advertising for its Hulu Plus subscribers. I don't really care that Plus gives me accelerated access to popular TV shows that I would never watch. It's just weird that Hulu Plus exclusives stream without commercials but subscribers are still forced to watch ads on its regular service. I subscribed to Plus for a while to watch a couple of movies I couldn't find on Netflix or Amazon Prime, but I've since let it lapse because of the advertising issue.

As far as I'm aware, most of Sentai's stuff is on Crunchyroll.

Sentai also streams many of its titles on its own site, theanimenetwork.com. Some of them are limited to subscribers, but most are available for free, though with commercials.

why thank you … so yes i am mainly interested in Sentai streams to TRY to encourage dubs of their titles i enjoy …
(since they have been grabbing up licenses like hot cakes lately )because from what i have heard that is like the only way to help with a Franchise being considered for an english dub and believe me i have tried to watch subs but i just can't seem to enjoy them …because I'm to busy READING MY ANIME
